I was given info today that the Sky satellite link had run out of time, and the referee was instructed to end the game. As you can see from the broadcast that immediately the game ended they terminated the broadcast within 2 seconds.

Terrible rumour-mongering. What information was you given? There will be nothing concrete because it's not true.

The info came from a Sky camera man who was told via his head phones that the satellite link had expired and it was being "Wrapped up". The referee would have got the same message through his headphones, so was it a coincidence? you decide.

This is a bit different from the claim you made in your first post.
Did this cameraman tell you that the referee received a specific instruction to end the game?

Not surprised after seeing the recording.

Only shows that where our game is regarded by Sky as it would not have happen in Football and Rugby Union.
